First Kingston Expedition

The First Kingston Expedition (1722) was a pirating expedition undertaken by the pirate Edward Kenway and the crew of the Jackdaw off the coast of Kingston, Jamaica during the Golden Age of Piracy. Kenway had the goal of plundering British Royal Navy ships, but he assisted the pirate brig HMS Swift in looting the Spanish Navy frigate San Felipe. The Jackdaw then proceeded to target the British brig HMS Rising Sun and its schooner escorts HMS Ranger and HMS Fearless, boarding, capturing, looting, and scuttling all three ships. The pirates succeeded in their expedition, succeeding in looting the British and Spanish ships targeted in the pirating venture.
